Jimmy Garoppolo QB Eastern Illinois

[bigcsr67]

Here is a nice article about a possible 1st round QB prospect next year. I have been following him the last few years since he plays at my Alma Matter. I like this article even more because there is a sweet picture of me down blocking on Isaac Sapoaga...

Doesn't he punt too?

I dont think so, but even if he was the punter, they wouldnt need him. Thier offense is that good.

Jimmy Garoppolo/Eastern Illinois

Mon: Terrific day for Garappolo. Looked poised, in control and accurate with his throws. Did not make his pass catchers work hard to come away with the reception. Possesses a next level arm.

I know it's just Shrine Game practice, but...

I LOVE Garoppolo and am hoping to grab him later in drafts while I stock up at RB/WR. He might take some development, but the way he handles his offense is incredible.

I imagine Garoppolo will be a big riser this offseason. Good mid round pick in 2 QB dynasty leagues.

Heh, if he's there in the 3rd I'm taking him in my 1 QB leagues... or immediately adding him as a FA.

Garoppolo got MVP of Shrine game. Off to the Senior Bowl to keep his draft stock rising.

[RossOfTheYear]

he had meetings with the Buccaneers, the Chargers, the Chiefs, the Giants, and the Jaguars for what it's worth

Would you take him over Boyd not taking landing spots into account?

[The Dynasty Niche]

i would. even though he has only had one practice scouts are not liking what they are seeing out of boyd compared to the other qbs there.

Absolutely, I love jimmy and I think he's going to end up being a 1st round pick, early 2nd at the latest (talking NFL Draft not rookie drafts). I also hate boyd as an nfl prospect, his arm is just not good at all, late round pick at the best imo.

I'd take him over everyone not named Teddy, Johnny, and MAYBE Bortles...

Should also note, I have Boyd at the same tier of my QB prospects as Stephen Morris and Logan Thomas

I watched him throw the ball for the first time in the Shrine game and loved it. He looked good and I read scouts also liked his practices. I will say I fall in love with QB with arm talent(or what I consider arm talent) and is not always a good thing. Liked Brandon Weeden(I was far off I know but loved his arm) so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

Teddy Bridgewater
Derrick Carr (Can make every throw and test all levels of the field)
Blake Brotles
Johnny Manziel
Jimmy Garoppolo (Can't wait till senior bowl)

Zach Mettenburger and David Fales just missed out.
